AM: 8+ miles, out and back from Neal's, 57:18.

Experiment: "On the compatibility of Tennessee, Canadian, and Irish beverages"

PI: Neal Gassmann

Co-Invstigators: Myself, Trish, Scott, and Michelle.

Hypothesis: That "Irish Car Bombs" may be simulated by substitution of Gentlemen Jack or Canadian Spirits.

Results: The results to the pallet and the stomach were negative. However, the results on the AM run were positive, as we rose at 5 bells to hammer out 8 miles, the beginning of which is mostly up hill.

This weekend really recharged my batteries! Thanks to Neal for his great hospitality, and culinary and brewing skills! He also had some frank words for me about over-analyzing my 5k performances:

"When the gun goes off, run fast. And when you hear the bell, run faster!"

Neal has a 14:08 to his credit.
